The instant samples are made of a 100% urethane foam inserts that are placed in a casing or shell composed of a 100% polyester man-made fiber knit fabric. On one side, a nylon knit mesh is sewn. A short textile loop to facilitate its removal from the shoe is sewn to the top.

The applicable subheading for the product will be 6307.90.9889, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles ...Other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem.
